Using Credit Cards for Marijuana Purchases
Whether you’re a startup dispensary or have had an active medical marijuana business, you may have already encountered the common issue of having a hard time finding a credit card and payment processing service that will work with you. That is mostly due to the federal laws surround marijuana which has caused many of the credit card companies to avoid marijuana businesses. Additionally, most merchant account and payment processing services have also rejected such businesses.
Back in August of 2013, though, the US Justice Department it would no longer challenge state laws regarding marijuana. That caused a few credit card companies, like Visa and MasterCard, to being opening up their services to these businesses. That being said, many of the payment processing companies still have not changed their policies regarding medical marijuana businesses.
